AOMAN

“After another discontinued series, Aoki’s editor asks the disappointed mangaka to pump some sex and oomph into her manga. For that, he calls his friend, who’s an expert in that field to give her some pointers." -Fueta Kishi

Thanks for that comment, me being a fan of Fueta's work, I'm quick to enjoy the sex in his works, but after seeing your thought and everyone else's, I guess I should stick to Fueta's past vanilla works till the next Fukuyama-san update.

Although I'm always wary of fapping to doujins based on series I actually read and enjoy (like Bakuman), I am glad that I at least looked at this one; if only because the Editor in Chief's comment was rather hilarious. Plus Fueta Kishi is one of the Gods of Hentai.

Bakuman has an excellent story and a high degree of character development. In Fueta Kishi's derivitive work, "Aoman" the author chose to ignore both characters and story. In "Aoman", he offers a weak story with characters consistently acting completely "out of character."

Neither the "story line" nor Aoki's reactions in it were believable. No editor would pimp for an author, especially THIS character, nor Aoki have accepted the pimping. No complaints on the art, but the supposed tie to Bakuman did not materialize. Don't most derivities use characters from the manga - else why bother to use it?

You can probably tell, but I didn't like this at all. The art was ok, but the rest was just crap.

- Klutzybear: I think the reason you didn't enjoy it is that none of the characters - especially Aoki - were doing things that would be consistent with those characters. Icky feeling, eh?

Group doesn't typically bother me... Nor does "sex for seemingly absurd reasons" for that matter. But the whole sex slave mentality doesn't do it for me... So to speak. I'd have to say this one is lacking severely.

That ending made no sense. The manipulative jackass was going all semi-vanilla on her and making her an honest woman...and then gangbang with random guys and she's a total slut.
...Whatever. Aside from the last page the rest is cohesive and entertaining.
